Suitcase Stirs A Scare

DIGEST

Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad was called out Wednesday evening to investigate a strange-looking container found behind a business west of Boynton Beach, authorities said.

At about 6:30 p.m., a worker at a medical office in the Boynton Trails shopping center at Old Boynton Beach Road and Military Trial saw the suspicious suitcase in the lot behind the building and called the Sheriff's Office. The shopping center includes a Winn-Dixie.

Bomb experts arrived, and deputies cordoned off the area. Several stores were already closed, and an evacuation was unnecessary, authorities said.
